G4 installed airport card wants a password. Tried many ways to erase 
installed password but it will not go away so can not put in one on my 
own. This card was bought on eBay and will work if I can put a new 
password. Any ideas? Need any more information. It shows up in system 
preferences and will turn on but needs a password to become active.
